Dorothy Mae Davis, 57, of Portland, OR, died Monday, June 18, 2012 of metastatic breast cancer, which she battled for over 6 years. Ms. Davis was born June 30, 1954 in San Bernardino, CA to Joe and Emma Davis. She spent her life serving others with unconditional love and acceptance, and she left a lasting impression on everyone who came to know her. Ms. Davis epitomized the definition of selflessness, always putting others first, especially her children. She was very compassionate with a big heart for young people, often taking in other children whose home environments were less ideal. While Dorothy only had 2 children, she was a surrogate mother to countless others. She worked for DHS as a Caregiver for many years until she was unable to do so due to health.
